bedford looks very sore - hore stood on his foot, and as bedford was hopping up and down on the mark he didn't 'stand' so conceded the 50 and hore kicks the goal

tough ruling that one

Edited by whatwhat say what

 

I had often wondered what would happen if an injured or cramping player on the mark hopped when told to stand. There it is. Terrible fifty, no feel for the game, still not a fan of the stand rule when it’s applied like that.

Weideman boots his 5th. He and JVR putting the heat on the key forwards in Perth to do something tonight.

They are playing north KC. Don't think that form says much other than I would expect nothing less.

You can only kick them on who you’re playing against & they’ve both been pretty impressive

Was this game scheduled to be on 7? It says in the program guide it’s today’s game, but they are showing Hawks v Tigers. 

Between the AFL and 7 they are hopeless where this competition is concerned. Too many byes, interstate games etc. If either of them told me it was day time I would go outside and check.

 


Good to know that despite their current predicament at AFL level the Roos have some quality talent coming through the VFL 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Weid might be the unluckiest player ever to not get a call up to the seniors if he ends up with a bag of 10

And there ends an exhilarating quarter 9 goal quarter that sees Casey leading by 91 points.

Casey Demons 20.17.137 North Melbourne VFL 7.4.46

Disposals Dunstan 29 Tomlinson 23 White 20 Bedford 18

3Qtr time. Casey 20.17.137. Kangas 7.4.46 

Weideman 6 JVR 5 … both showing they are too good for VFL.  Admittedly Kangas defenders look undersized.  
 

Woewodin is impressive.  Good run and uses the ball very well. 
 

Daw dominated the ruck. Youngster VFL listed Bell also showing good agility and backup.  
 

Mitch White and Munro as usual are playing good games

Correct but their AFL team is not much more than VFL standard so kicking a bag against their seconds side shouldn't be seen as earth shattering.

Emphasising the utter absurdity of this rule. 

This is some performance by Van Rooyen. His tackling and defensive pressure is elite for such a big forward.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
